A place to share my flutterby thoughts, ideas and creations with like-minded friends

Having been relatively good posting for Blogtober, I have become rather lax at posting anything during November so far, so I had better put that to rights.

I made this ATC for a swap where the theme was to print using fruit or vegetables. I chose to use onion which I must say was incredibly smelly! I brayered red and yellow and a tiny bit of black acrylic paint on my gelli plate and then used the cut onion to lift paint off of the plate and printed it randomly onto a clean sheet of paper. By using the gelli plate it was easy to keep moving the paint around. Once dry I cut the paper into ATC sized pieces and then stitched around some of the onion ring designs followed by added white highlights. Finally I stamped a flower onto another piece of gelli printed cardstock and finished off with a button.

About Me

Hello and welcome to Dragonflywhisperz, my little spot in cyberspace.
I've always had a love for both texture and photography and enjoy incorporating these into my artwork. I love to play around with paints and enjoy various crafts.
I have a very tolerant husband who doesn't ask me why I have the need to save the most bizarre items (and even asks me before throwing things out), doesn't mind the fact that I disappear for hours on end into my craft room and nods and grunts appreciatively when I show him the finished article. He sometimes means it too!!
